DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Should you replace it?
A new basin frequently means a plumber, new taps and a new waste and making good the tiling. A repair keeps the basin you have. Repairs from £95, with every job priced individually. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Honest limits
Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:
- Leaking taps or wastes (a plumber’s job)
- Through cracks that let water out
- A basin that moves on its brackets
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Your questions about sink repair in Thorpe Langton
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
What areas do you cover?
We work UK-wide, so Thorpe Langton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
Can you repair an antique basin?
Yes. Where possible, we work around makers’ marks. Mention it when you ask for a quote.
Can you repair a chipped basin?
Yes. The chip is filled, matched and polished.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Northamptonshire.
How to look after the repair
Good habits make a big difference to how long a repair lasts:
- Do not rest hot hair tools on the basin
- Don’t stand heavy bottles on the edge
- Clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent
- Don’t overtighten taps
Clean with mild, non-abrasive cleaners and avoid dropping heavy bottles or appliances into the basin.
Chips near the waste or taps can let water in, which can stain the repair area. Early repair keeps it a small job.
How we price sink repair
Repairs from £95. Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
- The size and number of damaged areas
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

- The area is degreased and keyed.
- Filler is built up and sanded flush.
- We match the colour and the gloss.
